Happy Anniversary

Although I don’t suppose “happy” is the appropriate adjective when you’re talking about the one-year anniversary of the Covid-19 lockdown in Michigan, at Andrews, and with the Pioneer Memorial Church. Twelve months ago—who can forget the warp speed with which leaders and people alike, faculty and students alike, all of us alike—very much alike in our foreboding uncertainty (outright fear, I’m sure, for some) of what was happening to our nation, our community, our congregation—we were all catapulted into the strange new world of “lockdown.”

Women's Ministries Easter Reflections

The Women's Ministries Team invites you to join our Easter Reflections from March 25 to April 4, 2021. Each day you will receive a meditation on the application of one of the Fruits of the Spirit in our lives as illustrated in the story of the Death and Resurrection of Jesus. We encourage you to receive this daily short blessing by signing up online, or text "Easter" to 269-281-2345.

Michigan Advance Partner Offering

The February 27, 2021 offering is for Michigan Advance Partners (MAP). This is the Michigan Conference offering taken up on the fourth Sabbath of every month. This requested MAP offering is separate from and above and beyond our regular Tithe offering and the separate "Combined Budget" offering for our local church expense. The MAP offering has been a most important Michigan Conference offering since 1978 when leading laymen recognized a financial need at Conference level and established the Michigan Conference Lay Advisory Program.

A Pandemic Business Meeting

Nothing like setting the kind of records we never wanted to set! But on Monday evening, February 8, 7 o'clock, our Pioneer Family will mark its first virtual/Zoom/electronic business meeting. In history. And to mark the occasion we’re featuring a series of short video reports to capture life and ministry in the midst of this pandemic these past eleven months—and I hope you’ll appreciate and be inspired by them.
